Level Access

Many tiled showers and wetrooms require a flush transition between the shower area and the rest of the floor. This needs not just a low height drain such as Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 but a compatible low height shower tray too.

Schlüter-KERDI-SHOWER-LTS

Schlüter-KERDI-SHOWER-LTS is a range of shower trays with a preformed slope, one of which is low height and specifically designed to integrate with Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 as part of a waterproofed system.

Whether used with a timber or screed substrate, all shower trays in the Schlüter-KERDI-SHOWER-LTS range can easily be cut to size, giving you full flexibility.

When paired with the Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3, the low height version simplifies creation of a level access shower area:

  • Dimensions = 1365 x 2000mm (W x L)

  • Gradient / Fall = 1 in 80

  • Height = 26mm at 1000mm long; 39mm at 2000mm long

  • At 1000mm long works perfectly with a 18mm timber floor and Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-DUO

Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3

Low height linear drain compliant with BS EN 1253

Specifically designed to simplify drainage from tiled showers and wetrooms - whether a new build or refurbishment project. Use in conjunction with the Schlüter-KERDI system components and other Schlüter products to provide a fully waterproofed integrated system solution.

 
 
 
 

Size

Construction is expensive and maximising useable space is essential if investment returns are being considered. This often means floor build-up is kept to a minimum, making it ever more challenging to find a drain that fits in the available space whilst meeting the required performance criteria.

Overall height = 78mm

Water seal = 50mm

Horizontal outlet = 40mm ID/43mm OD solvent weld, easily converted to 50mm

Choice of eight channel lengths, 500mm to 1200mm in 100mm increments

 
 

Performance & Compliance

It’s a given that whilst fitting in the available space a drain must deliver appropriate performance. That means it must meet the relevant criteria detailed in BS EN 1253.

 
 

Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 does just this:

IMG_0013.jpg
  • Water seal = 50mm - easily removed for cleaning

  • Water flow rate

    • 0.45 l/s (27l/min) single outlet

    • 0.80 l/s (48 l/min) dual outlet          

  • Anti-blockage as per 8mm ball bearing test

  • Odour tightness of 180Pa for 15 mins

  • Channel loading strength = class K3 (300kg)

  • Air tightness as per Building Regulations

  • Easy access for cleaning

 
 

System Integration

A drain that fits in the available space and meets the relevant performance criteria detailed in BS EN 1253 and BS EN 274 is one thing, but one which also integrates with other Schlüter products used in a wetroom or bathroom to create a fully waterproofed system from one manufacturer is even better.

Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 not only does this but, when fitted by an approved installer, comes with a comprehensive system warranty, giving you total peace of mind.

To make integration into the wetroom or bathroom as easy as possible, whether installed in the intermediate/central or wall/perimeter position and whether with central, offset or dual outlets, Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 is fitted without any need for drilling or screwing.

The polystyrene channel support separates the stainless steel V4A (316) drainage channel from the building structure so the sound of water flowing is kept to a minimum.

 
 
 
 

Style & Substance

When it came to designing the latest generation linear drain from Schlüter-Systems, one thing was key: collaboration.

To make sure our solution was right, we consulted with a number of influential architect practices. They told us about the problems they faced; we listened, presented prototypes and fine-tuned them based on feedback.

The result is Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3:

A low height compliant linear shower drain

A drain with enough variations to cope with the complexities of different sites

A drain that will integrate with pre-sloped shower boards and other products used in bathrooms and wet rooms, creating a guaranteed fully waterproofed system from one manufacturer

Whether installed in the intermediate/central or wall/perimeter position, Schlüter-KERDI-LINE-G3 can be used with a range of grate options to enhance the appearance of your bathroom or wetroom. These grate options are suitable for use with different thicknesses of floor tile and stone from as low as 6mm to 20mm and more, assuming a 4mm bed of tile adhesive.

 
 
 
 

Installing into a suspended timber floor

Before commencing it is important to confirm that the timber floor/substrate has been installed to BS 5385 - part 3 and is suitable for tiling.

P5 grade/green chipboard is not suitable and should be replaced with external grade plywood of, we suggest, 18mm thickness.

As well as being clean, dry and free from debris the timber floor must be flat, level and load bearing.

We recommend use of the 'G3 Installation Accessory 2021'. When it is used there is no restriction on tile size or thickness.

Tiles smaller than 300mm x 300mm, or with a thickness less than 8mm, should not be used unless the sub-floor is constructed and strengthened using the 'G3 Installation Accessory 2021'.

CPDs

Continuing Professional Development

When it comes to tile and stone installations, we carry a wide range of products and equally wide-ranging expertise. We regularly share our knowledge with architects’ practices across the UK and Ireland, helping to extend the lifetime of tile and stone installations.

We have provided RIBA Approved CPD seminars for over 20 years, recognising the value we can add to projects across a variety of sectors. More recently, we have introduced a collection of Lunch and Learn sessions, which focus intensively on certain product ranges.

Both our RIBA Approved CPD seminars and Lunch and Learn sessions are delivered by your local Schlüter specification expert, ensuring a solid learning experience.
